Today, the @IEA has started tracking progress of all 10 things that every country in the world committed to at @COP28_UAE.
You can't say there's no ambition!?... 🧵

Good afternoon (or morning, or evening). I went dark yesterday, really dark. But I managed to sleep and I have some clarity about the Al Ahli hospital massacre that I want to share with you. I'll only tweet this rambling thread today and then log off. Please read and share.
Well researched and very well written.
My latest for @NewYorker. The world's largest carbon offsetting firm sold environmentally worthless credits, while the developer of its biggest project secretly moved of tens of millions of $ paid by Gucci, Porsche, Nestlé & others into offshore accounts. newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

To limit global warming to '1.5°C with no or limited overshoot', the decline in global CO2 emissions relative to 2019 are:
* 48% by 2030
* 80% by 2040
* 99% by 2050
It is 2023 & global CO2 emissions are still rising!

In this ethnographic study of climate change and its impacts on Bangladesh, @CameliaDewan offers a vitally important corrective to simplistic narratives of global warming. 1/n

According to the #IPCC AR6 Synthesis Report, to limit global warming to '1.5°C with no or limited overshoot', then global CO2 emissions decline:
* 48% in 6 years
* 80% in 14 years
* 99% in 24 years
(thanks @_david_ho_ for reminding me to remind people)

1/ The penny is finally starting to drop that economists have catastrophicly underestimated the risk from #ClimateBreakdown.
Here's a🧵 of the latest reports that those working in finance urgently need to catch up on...

Nuclear #fusion will not only come too late to help solve the #climatecrisis. Even in the long run it will not be the unlimited energy source that some are dreaming of. The reason is basic physics, and anyone can do the back-of-envelope calculation. 🧵1/

world leaders said they'd try to stop the earth heating 1.5 degrees celsius but their policies will nearly double that (2.7c) and their action plans - excluding bits conditional on support from rich countries - give a 1-in-3 chance of passing 3c and a >5% chance of passing 4c (!)

A good piece by @HirokoTabuchi on the danger of rich countries taking (often dubiously additional) low cost emission reductions from poorer ones instead of doing the hard work to reduce their own emissions: nytimes.com/2022/11/07/clima…

Fantastic new "Summary for all" of the @IPCC_CH #AR6 report "The physical science basis" (ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/). Many key messages summarised simply and clearly.

there are a few times a year when broadcasters care about the accelerating demise of a hospitable planet so here are some tips for climate scientists doing tv and radio interviews to use airtime effectively 1/
